Heater week; 3/8/2024-3/17/2024 (Chicago, IL): My favourite of the foursome tonight. This had a far more intense and youthful fruit profile than the other three, and I really enjoyed the freshness of this. A mix of red and black fruit, but more importantly, lots and lots of black olive tapenade. A bit of smoke and meat as well. Silky, resolved texture, but next to the St. Joseph and Côte-Rôtie, I found it really interesting to see how stereotypically Cornas this showed, with its burlier, darker nature.
